Common Questions

Student orgs register through the Student Activities Office – not the Resource Center. A student org is considered REGISTERED when they successfully complete the registration process, are approved by SAO, and the RSO appears in the current RSO Directory.
For more information about registering a group, please contact SAO at 206-543-2380, via email, or in person at HUB 232.

RSO Officers: Any of the 5 RSO Officers may retrieve or reset their org’s Print Code with any SORC staff member. Students will be asked to provide their Husky Card for this process. The RSO’s officers are listed in the RSO Directory.

SORC equipment reservations are made via SORC EMS. Students must have their RSONetID (RSO email address) that is assigned by SAO during the registration process and their assigned Print Code. More reservation information here…

Yes, with limits. RSOs may use the SORC refrigerator to store food on a space available basis and only on the day of the event. Long-term fridge storage is not allowed. All food is cleared out of the fridge on a daily basis.

Yes. Students may use the microwave for personal food items. Again, we ask that students clean up after themselves and deal with any messes in the microwave or kitchen area resulting from microwave use.

Students will be asked to show their Husky Card for verification purposes or to leave their Husky Card when checking out an item or resource. For this reason, it is imperative that students bring their Husky Card to the Resource Center. RC staff may accept an alternate photo ID such as a driver’s license in lieu of a Husky Card. Other members of an RSO may provide their Husky Card when checking out equipment.

No. The HUB has experienced several incidents of helium balloons triggering the fire alarm since it opened in 2012. The HUB may consider banning helium balloons in the future. Until then, we ask all students who use the helium tank in the Resource Center to use an abundance of caution while transporting balloons inside the HUB. Helium balloons must be held no higher than head/eye level while inside the HUB.

No. The SORC no longer has a fax machine. However, the HUB Info Desk provides fax services. More details here…

NO. DO NOT USE THE SORC COPIERS TO PHOTOCOPY U.S. MONEY OR STAMPS. Please refer to Title 18, section 474 of the United States Code for additional information. Although there are certain exceptions to the federal law, the Resource Center has prohibited the use of the copiers for this purpose.

No. The SORC does not check out certain items for use outside the Resource Center including: tape, scissors, button-makers, paper folders, shredder, paper-cutters, laminator, cricut. Aside from the canopies, tables, chairs, and tabling equipment, most everything else is meant to be used at the Resource Center.

No. The only exception may be when an RSO has a confirmed HUB Games party reservation. In this case, HUB Games will need to verify with SORC that the RSO has permission to have karaoke in their venue. The RSO is responsible for transporting and returning Karaoke system. Damages will be the responsibility of the RSO. This exception is at the discretion of the SORC Manager.

No. None of the equipment or resources in the Resource Center may be used for any ASUW or GPSS election. This applies to the entire campaign, candidates, tickets, or ballot initiatives. Students are encouraged to contact SAO or ASUW Elections Administration Committee to inquire about appropriate methods of campaigning and obtaining campaign materials.
